au revoir mon cher Angelique
A heavy heart | Sept 28 2002 | Carlo3b

au revoir mon cher Angelique

I have the truly sad and unenviable task of reporting the loss of a gentle lamb, and fierce patriot, our own dear girl, Angelique.
Simple words cannot express the profound loss I feel. To say I have lost one of my closest and dearest friends would be to betray my own feelings, I adored this girl. Her warm sweet childlike voice, contrasted with her signature feisty repartee, and unbridled humor made her a one-of-a-kind treasure. Her combative defense of her deeply held convictions, crossed many a sword with the best of her friends including yours truly, and her few if any enemies. She was a model Mother, daughter, sister, friend, patriotic American, Franco-American and staunch defender of the principals of a Free Republic, and above all FreeRepublic itself. Angelique said what she believed, with straight talk, a savvy humor and wit, but at times with a velvet sledgehammer ....tears, that was our darling French pastry.
Pray for our sweet girl, as I will, in hopes that she has found comfort and peace in His waiting arms.
pour toujours,  mon cher Angel,  with love......... Carlo

Your eloquent words are a tribute in themselves. You can always count on your freeper friends to keep you lifted up as best we can.

Carlo,
This was a very touching tribute to our friend Angelique. Although she only touched my life briefly, she will never be forgotten. I have gathered her posts and her recipes and when I have the chance to cook for someone besides myself, I will tell everyone where the real flavor came from. Her humor and warmth was a high point of my experiences at Free Republic.

We shall all miss Angelique. I used to ping her often, and then our interests diverged and I didn't hear from her any more. It seems to me that there was some kind of spat that I never understood, and I was on the wrong side. May she rest in Christ's bosom.

She deserves to be on the wall. It is an honor for her and an honor to us all.

It will happen, I'm sure..

thank Heaven for the time we all had to share....

My grandmother would say to us when we were young and without much money... "having some ice cream is a lot better than having no ice cream at all... you must learn to appreciate what few pleasures you receive" Thank heaven I received so much in what turned out to be..so little time...sad

Hebrews 13:2

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers,
for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.
